Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

First step is to convince the people that the mainstream media is lying, only fox news, joe Rogan and Twitter are telling the truth.

EVERY accusation is an admission.

Oh Canada enjoyed that. A lot.

"Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

This is what I mean. Utterly, utterly stupid.

His business acumen? FFS, he bankrupt a casino!

Its kind of exciting but absolutely terrifying at the same time to see how bonkers the US gets.

you are not making sense.. would you not think that when rents are high is the VERY TIME that property owners would be bringing their property to the HIGH RENT market?

Why did u leave out the major cities in Russia?

We'll probably get an update on the administration's attack on transgender people which seems to matter more to certain people than anything else they're doing. Any other draconian or horrific things are fine apparently.

In other news, one of the astronauts on the ISS has pointed out that he's lying about Biden leaving them stuck in space. Musk responded by calling her "fully retarded" so I for one am glad that the grownups are clearly in charge. He can have the DOJ pursue charges upon her return.

Popular? Nah.

WaPo poll.

Bannon with a Nazi salute now at that CPAC shïtshow. They're not hiding anymore. How long before Felon 47 or a high profile member of the administration does one too?

I don't see any situation where the tiniest thing Russia does against a NATO nation doesn't result in article 5 being triggered and aside from the US I don't see any member not backing them

There's already murmurings of protests against the Drumpf regime all over the USA

They need to do more than just light candles and sing Kumbaya my lord.

I saw a quote from a Democrat senator the other day essentially saying they’ll just wait it out for these 4 years to pass - I mean there won’t be elections in 4 years time if the democrats just sit on their hands - Trump will spend this time eroding the institutions that preserve democracy.

Much as it sounds good, right now I think we need to just hold our fire- we’re going to get a roasting anyway but that’s just saying please shoot me now. Let the EU play this out together - we’re not dealing with any old dictator here - such a protest may have been warranted if traditional politics were playing out - but then again, if traditional politics were at play we wouldn’t be here in the first place - our time will come and hopefully in the form of strong EU action - whatever that is

Agreed. The Dems do need to pull up their socks and organise as the real opposition to Donnie and his cultists. Call them out, underline why it is wrong and how they would do things properly. Make sure that the public are aware of how the GOP is making their lives harder.

They really don't have 4 years. They have 2 until the Mid-terms as well as all manner of local and state races in between. In addtion now is the time to start searching for an appealing leader to the party to act as their next Presidential canditate.

So, lets assume for a moment, they decide to issue the doge "savings" back to taxpayers, a lot of talk online about $5,000 or $8,000 to each taxpayer. (I don't for a moment expect them to do anything of the sort)

But surely, if they decide to distribute the savings back to the taxpayers, will they really give someone who paid $500K in tax back $5,000 while at the same time issuing $5,000 to the person who paid $6,000 in tax? Even if they issue it proportionally, its gonna cause problems.

Seems to me that this can only backfire, and now that its being discussed, there'll be a backlash if its not done
